Fox Sports is also reporting that Papelbon will take a cut in pay in order to get the deal done, further demonstrating just how badly he wanted out of Philadelphia. According to the report, the 34-year-old will make a guaranteed $11 million in 2016 rather than the $13 million he would have made if he had finished 14 more games to get his club option to vest. The Nationals were originally on Papelbon's no-trade list, but the bigger issue was his desire to close. Papelbon had said he would only accept a trade if he was going to be his new team's closer, which Washington has agreed to. As a result, Nationals closer Drew Storen, who has a 1.73 ERA and 29 saves in 31 chances this season, will move to a set up role. In return for Papelbon, the Phillies will receive 22-year-old pitcher Nick Pivetta. The right-handed Pivetta has compiled a 7-6 record with a 3.02 ERA across high Class-A ball and Double-A in 2015. A fourth round pick in the 2013 MLB Draft, Pivetta has struggled mightily in his brief stint with Double-A Harrisburg, however, recording a 7.20 ERA in three starts. Papelbon officially finishes his Phillies career as the franchise's all-time saves leader with 123. During his stay in Philadelphia, Papelbon went 14-11 with a 2.31 ERA and 252 strikeouts in 234 games. By: Kyle BabcockFollow us on Twitter: @BroadStBeat
